Fremantle Dockers remain unchanged for pivotal clash with Carlton at Optus Stadium
Fremantle will take an unchanged team into their clash with Carlton in a pivotal weekend for the club's finals pursuit. In a round where much of the competition's top eight play each other, the Dockers have the chance to earn a place in the top five with a win over the Blues at Optus Stadium. The Western Bulldogs have already done the men in purple a favour, belting the Giants by 88 points to lift Fremantle into seventh on percentage, while they could also jump Hawthorn and Brisbane should those two sides lose to Adelaide and Collingwood, respectively. Hayden Young will likely play increased minutes after being subbed out in his Glendinning-Allan Medal-winning performance in the western derby as the three-pronged attack of Josh Treacy, Pat Voss and Jye Amiss will put pressure on Carlton's struggling defence. The Blues are missing Charlie Curnow, whose season is over after knee surgery, as well as former Docker Adam Cerra. Sam Docherty retired after last week's clash with Hawthorn. Fremantle will need to overcome a poor record against the Blues, having won just one of their past five meetings, with Carlton claiming their last clash at Adelaide Oval in 2024 by 10 points. Alex Pearce will miss a fourth consecutive game. However, Justin Longmuir said he was confident the key defender would be ready to play a significant role in the last month of the season after battling shin splints. 'We've probably been a little bit more conservative this time. So that should hold him in good stead,' Longmuir said. Fremantle resisted the urge to bring dual Brownlow medallist Nat Fyfe straight back into the seniors as a sub, opting to instead give him a run in the WAFL with Peel Thunder.

‘Can't help but feel frustrated': Collingwood lament back-to-back single-digit defeats
Loading Collingwood will go to work on their inside-50 efficiency after wasting a career-best day from Nick Daicos to suffer a one-point defeat to an inspired Fremantle at the MCG on Sunday. A late Josh Treacy mark deep in defence secured the Dockers a thrilling and crucial win that handed Craig McRae's Magpies back-to-back single-digit defeats despite having 23 more inside 50s and winning the contest possession tally by 20. Fremantle kicked the last four goals of the game, including ex-Bomber Patrick Voss' personal-best sixth, to steal a road victory after trailing ladder-leading Collingwood by 22 points early in the final quarter. The Pies also laid an extraordinary 35 tackles inside 50 to the Dockers' nine. 'You talk about all the numbers – inside 50s and contested possession, and all this stuff – [but] it just didn't feel like we connected that well this week again,' McRae said. 'But it's one of those hard games where you dominate so much of the territory, you're winning it back, and you go into such density, so it makes it really hard to score. But I can't help but feel frustrated in that game because you feel like you've done so much right, and then you don't get the nourishment of a win. 'There are many layers to it. Our connection inside 50 wasn't at the level it has been, but also, we thought we did enough right to get the job done today.' Former Docker Lachie Schultz had the last opportunity for Collingwood with barely 10 seconds left, but his desperation snap landed in Treacy's lap in front of 62,198 fans. Jamie Elliott, who has a reputation for late-game goalkicking heroics, also missed a set shot inside the last three minutes that levelled the scores before a Shai Bolton behind – after Jack Crisp conceded a high-contact free kick – gave Fremantle the lead for good inside the last two minutes. The Dockers are now only percentage outside the top four after starting the season with five losses in the first nine rounds.

Fremantle's landmark MCG moment as Collingwood suffer back-to-back defeats
A late Josh Treacy mark deep in defence has secured Fremantle a thrilling and crucial win as they handed Collingwood back-to-back narrow defeats despite another prolific Nick Daicos performance. The Dockers kicked the last four goals of the game – including emerging key forward Patrick Voss' career-best sixth – to steal a one-point victory after trailing the ladder-leading Magpies by 22 points early in the final quarter. Former Fremantle forward Lachie Schultz had the last opportunity for Collingwood with barely 10 seconds left, but his desperation snap landed in Treacy's lap in front of 62,198 fans.

Fremantle are now only percentage outside the top four after starting the season with five losses in the first nine rounds. The Magpies stormed home in similar circumstances last week against Gold Coast before falling short by six points. They are only two points clear of reigning premiers Brisbane Lions, who they host at the MCG in two weeks' time. Brownlow Medal favourite Daicos shrugged off soreness to amass a career-most 43 disposals and eight clearances that could deliver him maximum votes. However, he will have stiff competition from towering ex-Bomber Voss, who had never kicked more than three goals in a game, but already beat that by early in the second term. All of those were on Darcy Moore before coach Craig McRae switched Brayden Maynard onto him.
